Moving Audio Between Logic Express and ReCycle
You can transfer data from Logic Express to ReCycle, and back, without using any file
selector dialogs.
To copy audio regions into the Clipboard for use in ReCycle:
1 Select an audio region in the Arrange area.
2 Choose Audio > Copy as ReCycle Loop in the Arrange menu.
The data of the selected audio region is copied into the Clipboard.
3 Use the “Paste as new Document” command in ReCycle to create a new ReCycle
document (containing the audio data selected in the Arrange area).
Note: The size of the transferred audio region is limited to 10 MB, which should be
sufficient for most ReCycle loops (an eight bar stereo loop in 4/4 at 70 bpm uses
approximately 5 MB, for example).
To paste ReCycle loops from ReCycle into the Arrange area:
1 Use the Copy Loop command in ReCycle.
This copies the loop currently being edited in ReCycle into the Clipboard.
2 Choose Audio > Paste ReCycle Loop in the Arrange menu to paste this loop into the
Arrange area.
The result is the same as the ReCycle file import options.
Adding MIDI and Project Files
You can also add MIDI and project files (such as OMF Interchange, AAF, OpenTL, and
XML files) to your arrangement. These file types are usually used to exchange projects,
however, and are therefore outside the scope of this chapter. Full details on importing
these file types can be found in Chapter 29, “Project and File Interchange,” on page 649.
